Matrix Cosmetics

Lip and Cheek Tint Review

Without any lip product, my lips is really pale af and I look sick that is why I always bring a tint or two with me whenever I go out. I also like wearing lip tints because it gives color to my lips but still look natural.

Matrix Cosmetics is a new local brand based in Batangas City, Philippines. They sent me two shades of their lip tints to try. Thank you so much for sending these, Matrix Cosmetics! ;) So today, I will be sharing my honest review, so let's get started.

This lip tints are natural/organic and water-based. I got mine in the shade Luscious Plum and Hazel Brown. As I've seen on their Instagram page, it has no bitter taste and does not produce foul smell after several use. It is also not too pigmented and not too light and is easy to blend. It retails for 140 pesos per tube of 10ml.

Swatches

Packaging

For the packaging, it comes on a roll-on tube plastic glass. Since the bottle is made up of plastic glass, it is heavier than the usual lip tints. The ingredients, distributor and product claims are written on the bottle. However, the address and other details of the distributor is not included.

Review

True to its claims, these lip tints don't have biter taste at all. Both shades smells really good and has a strong scent. Hazel Brown smells sweet while Luscious Plum is on the fruity (but still sweet) smell. After a wear test, I noticed that Luscious Plum last longer than Hazel Brown. When it comes to lip products, vibrant shades last longer than the nude ones. Luscious Plum is really vibrant but my camera doesn't give justice. Haha! When applying this product, I had to go with three layers to get the pigmentation that I like. It looks really natural on the lip though! P.S. I don't use lip and cheek tints as blush. Would I recommend this product? Of course! I support local products and I really like their shades selection. :)

We all know that green tea is good for the health. Aside from that, it is also good for the skin because it is a powerful antioxidant rich in vitamins such as vitamin A, C, and E. It calms and improves skin tone. This is my first time to use a skincare product with green tea as the main ingredient.

Wishtrend is launching their very own Green Tea & Enzyme Powder Wash this November 10, 2017 (CST). I got to try it before the launch so I will be sharing my thoughts and review. Please note that I have combination and acne-prone skin. I have been using it for more than two weeks now. And so far, so good!

This Green Tea & Enzyme Powder Wash is a low-acid moisturizing cleanser and refreshing scrub that gently exfoliates the face and does the blackhead care. It is made for all skin types especially for oily and acne-prone skin and for people who prefer a gentle cleanser with a moisturizing finish.

For the packaging, it comes in a green hard plastic bottle and it contains 70g or 2.47oz of product. The texts are written in white which kinda makes it a bit hard to read especially on the back part. The packaging is very aesthetic though! This product is made in Korea.

How to use: Just put an adequate amount on your hand and add a few drops of water. For sensitive skin, you may use it 2 to 3 times a week.Precaution: Do not use along with another skin care products that have exfoliating effects (retinol, high concentration vitamin C, AHA/BHA, etc.)

My thoughts: I love how this product is so mild and gentle on my face. When I used this product, my skin condition is really not at its best. I was heaving intense breakouts and I was afraid at first to use it because it might worsen the situation. But surprisingly, it did not. On my first use, I was amazed at how this product works. No joke! It is also my first product to use a powder wash. It made my skin really soft. If I would rate the softness of my skin after using, it would be 10/10. I also noticed that my skin tight and very clean. This product really reminds me of the matcha flavored foods. It has a strong (kinda) scent but it is fine with me.

Would I recommend it? Definitely, YES especially for my girls with sensitive skin like me. This is perfect for us! You can avail this product for only $17.6 from November 10 to 16, 2017 at Wishtrend. The original price is $22.

BlackHairspray.com is a leading beauty e-commerce company who offers various types of wigs and hair care products. I was browsing the net when I found out that they have lace front wigs and they are all gorgeous!

A lace front wig is a special type of hairpiece in which human or synthetic hair is tied by hand to a sheer lace base which goes over the scalp. Lace front wigs have become a trend nowadays because the lace base prevents the wig from being noticeable and will make it look more natural. No one could tell that you are using a wig!

There are so many benefits that we can get from using wigs. One example is when you want to dye your hair. Instead of changing the colors from time to time or taking a risk with bold colors, you can just buy wigs and no harm or damage will be done to your hair. Aside from hair loss, lace front wigs are just a popular nowadays because it is versatile and very stylish without putting so much effort. It will glam you up in an instant.
